							|  |  |  |     The most important thing is to keep the internal instance of the database | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     up to date. You can watch database changes with the <code>cl_stat</code> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     family of functions. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	int cl_statinidir(const char *dirname, struct cl_stat *dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	int cl_statchkdir(const struct cl_stat *dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	int cl_statfree(struct cl_stat *dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     Initialization: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	    ... | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	    struct cl_stat dbstat; | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	memset(&dbstat, 0, sizeof(struct cl_stat)); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	cl_statinidir(dbdir, &dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     To check for a change you just need to call <code>cl_statchkdir</code> and check | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     its return value (0 - no change, 1 - some change occured): | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	if(cl_statchkdir(&dbstat) == 1) { | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	    reload_database...; | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	    cl_statfree(&dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	    cl_statinidir(cl_retdbdir(), &dbstat); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	} | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </PRE> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     Remember to reset the <code>cl_stat</code> structure after reload. |
